Night Diaper
That last bit of dressing before toothbrush and book can feel bigger to your child than to you, especially if friends have already stopped wearing one. The visual support below lets the night diaper be one picture among others, as ordinary as the pyjamas.

About this visual support
A night diaper late in the evening is an odd point in the bedtime routine. It signals that the body does not yet trust itself through the night, even though the rest of the day has looked independent. For an older child who still wears one, the step can carry weight: it is not the diaper itself that is hard, but the thought of what it means.
This is why it helps to have the night diaper picture nested among the other evening cards. Brush teeth, pee, put on pyjamas and night diaper, drink water, go to bed. When it is the fourth picture out of six, it becomes simply part of the routine, not a separate conversation. The visual support lets the action stay small, which it actually is.
A concrete tip for the night diaper specifically: keep a basket in the bathroom where the pyjamas and the night diaper lie together, so the child fetches both in the same motion. That links them as one dressing moment, not two. In the Routined app, you can add the evening sequence with the night diaper as an ordinary step, with no extra marker, and remove it quietly from the list on the day it is no longer needed.
